Add a "superfast" game mode

Post by boardgamesmue »

Hi,

I'm wondering if the devs could add a "superfast" game mode, that is even more strict on the timer. Even with "fast" a lot of players are kinda slow and take over 20/25 minutes while proper players achieve at least below 10 min, sometimes even below 5min. It's quite annoying to wait that long if you're fast player and the slow players are often enough complaining once they loose due to running out of time.

If we find enough players that like faster plays, we might convince the devs easier to implement it for Arena.

I don't think it's going to happen, but it would be nice. Not even playing with players who have 300+ ELO is a guarantee that their time played won't be 30+ minutes, it's very annoying.

I am wondering: Are you talking about the whole game, or what else?

There are already several requests for a blitz mode in general, maybe you want to vote for them?

Since this is part of the general BGA framework, I don't think this could be implemented for a specific game ignoring the others.

Thanks for that hint, that might be worth bumping.
